Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 15,1912.

Application filed December 8, 1911. Serial No. 664,607.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, Roscoe DENNY, citizen of the United States, residing at Eagle Pass, in the county of Waverick and State of Texas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Hooks, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to hooks and more particularly to the class of clothes hooks for mounting on the side walls or ceiling of a room or the like.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a hook in which clothes or articles may be hung thereon and prevented from dropping therefrom thereby assuring the retention of the garments or articles while hanging upon the hook.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a hook which is formed from a single strand of relatively stifi wire, the same being bent to form the hook and a guard therefor which serves to fasten the garment or article on the hook when hanging therefrom thus obviating the possibility of the dropping of the same from the hook.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a hook which is simple in construction, fairly reliable and efficient in its purpose and inexpensive in manufacture.

With these and other objects in view the invention consist-s in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawing:-Figure 1 is a side elevation ofa ceiling hook constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end view. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of a wall hook. Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the same. Fig. 6 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view thereof.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding part-s throughout the several views in the drawing.

Referring to the drawing .by numerals, the ceiling hook comprises a single strand of relatively stiff wire 5 bent to provide reversely extending hook portions 6 and resilient guard portions 7, the hook portion being joined by means of connecting portions 8 thereby positioning the same in spaced alining relation to each other.

Guard portions 7 are disposed in clownwardly diverging relation to each other and are of sufficient length to extend over the billed portions 9 of said hooked portions 6 so as to close the hooks for preventing garments or articles when hanging thereon from slipping or dropping therefrom.

Surrounding the connecting portions 8 and clamping about the same is a split sleeve 10 in which is inserted the end 11 of the wire 5 while its opposite end 12 is passed outwardly through a central aperture 13 and is provided wit-h a screw point 14, the end 12 serving as a fastening shank and is adapted to be screwed into a ceiling for the fastening of the hook thereto.

In Figs. 4, 5 and 6 there is shown a side wall hook which comprises a single strand of relatively stiif wire 15 bent to provide a long horizontally disposed upper hook portion 16, a short lower hook portion 17 and resilient guards l8 and 19 therefor, respectively. The end 20 of the wire is twisted about the other end 21 which is provided with a screw point 22 for the fastening thereof in a wall, the guards being designed to hold fast garments or articles when hanging upon the hook thus obviating the possibility of the accidental dropping of said garment or article therefrom.

It is of course understood that these hooks may be fastened in any article of furniture or used wherever hooks of this nature are required.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the construction and manner of use of the invention will be clearly understood therefore a more extended explanation has been omitted.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is l. A clothes hook comprising a single strand of relatively stiff wire bent to form reversely extending hook portions and an intermediate inverted U-shaped connecting portion, the said wire being further bent to provide downwardly diverging loop-like guards adapted to overhang and receive the bill portions thereof and a sleeve surrounding the connecting portion and receiving the free end of the wire.

2. A clothes hook comprising a single strand of relatively stiff wire bent to form reversely extending hook portions and an 1 intermediate inverted U-shaped connecting I having a threaded terminal forming a seportion the side wire being further bent to curing shank. 10 provide downwardly diverging loop-like In testimony whereof I afliX my signature guards adapted to overhang and receive the in presence of two witnesses.

bill portions thereof and a sleeve surround- 7 ROSCOE DENNY.
